Hi bro Gud job love from India

[@boylesterminalshops6841]

Looking at the display, I was thinking that was the early stages of implementing PTC/TO up y’all’s way. Guess the conversation at the end confirms that haha

[@spacecalander]

These are the greatest! Thanks for sharing

[@debralavorata546]

Tell me mike,what's it like to control the iron horse? To be able to see the beautiful scenery from your spot it looks like it just glides across the tracks ,what a great job,one can only fantasize ....? Thank you for Sharing with train lovers,handsome mike

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Hi Debra thanks... You use your skills to make a good start in accordance to the rules and proceed to getting your train up to speed there are places that you cruise by that is like watching a real-time mural and if it's no at a stressful or intense moment you just say to yourself ahhh oh yes how nice all the while knowing you have thousands of tons rolling in unison. Now that scenario can play out throughout most of your trip. Again you could just have a good running train and a quick trip for that you get equal enjoyment. That's your good day examples. Then there are days things just don't go so well and you just wanna be some place other than that train.

My man looked back and I felt like my TM was looking at me for having a personal electronic device 😂 always looking to put a grey one in lead trying to avoid that eye 😂 damn cab signal and DP rules.

[@quintinthemississippirailfan]

Nice video!

[@robolson9924]

I like how an engineer can just get up and leave, while the train is still in motion. :)

[@annmorland802]

2:16 you can get through the tunnel.

[@Crazyrain1]

If only I got to have a picture in front of the locomotives I see or get a cab tour well that already happened but not really lol

[@ndrjsz2542]

Thanks for these videos. Nice to see how the railway works in USA. I'am a loco engineer trainee in hungary and soon in full time. What is the avarege speed of a freight train? In Hungary it s about 90-100 kph with electro locos. Thanks, wish many safe tour.

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

50 mph US

[@annmorland802]

2:27 you stopped to meet the CSX ES44AH.

[@ronfad1756]

When crossing a river or lake do You just want to stop and drop a line ? I know I would.

[@77DAdams]

I would too lol

[@LISA61367]

Didn’t they do that on Petticoat Junction?

[@goattalkonly9037]

Mike have you ever been on the New York west shore river line ?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

No

[@NickThatRailfan]

Mike, did you ever encounter railfans while working for CSX? If so whats your opinion on railfans?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

I knew a few very cool railfans

[@stevestar657]

Appears to be Chattanooga -

[@shot501]

How are you allowed to video the rides?

[@bnsfrailfan0957]

Would you go to a hotel after your shift or go home ??

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

If it's not necessary to lay over at the hotel we go to our home terminals .

[@WinnieTheTrain]

I have a question. When done with your shift, do you sleep at a hotel in that area? Does the railroad pay for it? Also.... If you want to go to your home terminal, how do you get back home? Catch another train or Uber, or what?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

All of the above.

[@vandariuscowan6879]

Mr mile What does it take to be in the CSX

[@MailmanRailfan]

Let the TO do the work

[@josiahhorner6705]

Isn't that dangerous being out in that kind of weather? You had zero visibility from what I saw.
